" I visited Kadhai with friends last month, and we shared a variety of dishes. The food was generally good, but I found the butter chicken a bit too sweet for my taste. However, the chai was absolutely delightful! Our server was attentive but seemed a bit rushed. The overall ambiance was nice, although I'd recommend sitting indoors since outdoor seating feels too exposed to traffic noise. Would consider returning for the appetizers alone! " (*Curated Review*)

" Kadhai is a charming restaurant with a cozy atmosphere. The food was superb, especially the lamb curry and a warming bowl of dal. I couldn't get enough of the garlic naan; it was fluffy, garlicky goodness. However, we experienced a long wait for our food, which was frustrating. Nevertheless, the staff was friendly, and they apologized for the delay. I'm optimistic that my next visit will be smoother because the food is definitely worth it! " (*Curated Review*)

" Kadhai came highly recommended, so I decided to check it out. While the food was decent, I expected more authenticity. The chicken tikka lacked seasoning, and their vegetable biryani was somewhat bland. The garlic naan was good, though! The service was friendly, and the restaurant had a warm vibe that made my dining experience pleasant. I might give it another try, but I’d like to explore different menu items next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing so much praise about Kadhai, my expectations were quite high. Unfortunately, the food did not meet those expectations on my visit. The paneer butter masala seemed to lack the rich creaminess I was hoping for. However, the naan was spot-on and delicious! The ambiance of the restaurant is lively, creating a lovely environment to dine. Maybe I’ll try a different dish next time since it was rather busy and I might have caught them on an off night. " (*Curated Review*)

" I took a large group to Kadhai for a dinner celebration, and everyone was quite satisfied. The extensive menu made it easy to please everyone’s preferences. I personally loved the goat curry; it was packed with flavor and paired excellently with the rice. The service was delightful, just occasionally overwhelmed. The atmosphere was vibrant and bustling, contributing to the fun of our gathering. I anticipate coming back soon for another delightful meal! " (*Curated Review*)

" Kadhai offers a great assortment of dishes that are rich in flavor. I had the lamb curry, and while it was good, it could have used a bit more seasoning. The service was prompt, and the restaurant has a warm atmosphere. The portions were generous as well. I would return to try other dishes and perhaps stick to recommended ones next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" My husband and I decided to hit up Kadhai because we had a craving for Indian food, and we were not disappointed! The food was flavorful and brought back memories from my travels in India. We particularly enjoyed the chicken tikka masala and the tandoori chicken. The service was prompt, and the ambiance was cozy, perfect for a date night. Will definitely recommend to friends!
